In the phony steel dossier, it was all phony.

How'd you like to be me and go home and explain that one to my wife?

Darling, it wasn't true, I swear it wasn't.

Remember that one with the hookers from Russia?

Darling, I'd like to explain this to you.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the Muckraig podcast. I'm Jared DeA Sexton. I'm here, as always, with Nick Houseman. Nick, how we doing, bud? I'm doing good. It's a Monday. It is a Monday. We're recording this on September 19th of 2022. Nick, we got disturbing stuff we got to talk about today. We got to talk about Christian nationalism.

We got to talk about Trumpism, morphing around QAnonism and Christian nationalism.

But we're also going to get in depth on the idea of the satanic panic, which is something that we've sort of talked about a little bit on this podcast,

but we haven't gotten in depth on this show.

Are you excited to go through one of the more embarrassing and disturbing moments in American history?

Well, you know, I'm older than you, so I remember the original one, just so you know. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are we doing here you're

telling me that I wasn't terrified by the satanic panic you know we have to get into it because

I don't I don't remember it as severe as what people who are writing about it now are

characterizing it as you know but maybe that's because I was I grew grew up in a, you know, a sane part of the country, I don't know, but I did not. Well, I have a sound by I wanted to share because it reminds you whenever I hear this of probably that one of the best laughs my dad ever had when I was a very young person going to see a particular movie. And in this movie, they mention it.

So it's this.

By the light of the night, it'll all seem all right.

I'll get you a satanic mechanic.

My dad turned me in and laughed so hard at the notion of a satanic mechanic.

That would be Rocky Horror Picture Show when I was seven or eight years old going to the movie at midnight.

So, you know, I have good feelings. I have good memories of the satanic, you know, word itself. So I'm not scared.
